Wrongful Death Claims

Our Tallahassee Wrongful Death Attorney Has the Skill You Need

Coping with the death of a loved one is a devastating process, and nothing
can offset the pain of the loss. When a loved one has died because of
someone else's wrongful actions, though, it may be appropriate for
survivors to seek justice through a wrongful death claim. Although the
subject is one that no one wants to think about, it is important for people
to understand how wrongful death claims work and who is entitled to make
them in the event that the unthinkable happens. Below is some important
information about wrongful death cases from the experienced Tallahassee
wrongful death lawyer at Shapiro Law Firm, P.A.

What Is A Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed as a result of another
person's negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct. A wrongful
death claim allows the people surviving the victim to seek compensation
for wages lost, benefits lost, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering.
Wrongful death claims can be critical in helping survivors provide for
their financial futures.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?

Usually, immediate family like spouses and children file for wrongful death,
as they are most affected by the loss of a family member and the financial
support he or she provided. Parents often make these claims as well. In
some cases, people in the extended family may also make a claim if they
were economically impacted by the death. An attorney from Shapiro Law

claims to receive the compensation and justice they are entitled to. A
